背景。能源中心是大象和城堡再生总体规划中的一个独特的混合用途建筑。该建筑由Lendlease开发，共4层，包括一个热电联产设施、托儿所、咖啡馆、社区空间和口袋公园。该项目包括一个社区和商业用途的组合，以前从未在一栋建筑中纠缠过。
Context. The Energy Hub is a unique mixed-use building within the regeneration masterplan for Elephant and Castle. Developed with Lendlease, the 4-storey building contains a combined heat and power facility, nursery, café and community space and pocket park. The project comprises a combination of community and commercial uses never before entwined in one building.
除了为3000多个新住宅提供热能和电力的设施外，Morris+Company设计过程中的一个重要方面就是要突出项目相邻部分的独特性。在可能的情况下，共享关系和设施，建立视觉联系，并与周围环境建立更广泛的联系。
As well as facilities to provide heat and power to 3000+ new homes, an important aspect of Morris+Company’s process was to highlight the distinctiveness of the programmatic adjacencies. Where possible, relationships and facilities are shared, visual connections are made and a wider engagement established to the surrounding context.
场地。该场地作为总体规划的门户，位于Heygate街的拐角处和拟议中的大象公园的南端。在总体规划中出现的较高的砖砌住宅楼的背景下，能源中心独特的材料和类型成为市民的标志，能源中心的烟囱设置在海格特街的拐角处。
Site. The site acts as a gateway to the masterplan, located on the corner of Heygate Street and at the southern end of the proposed Elephant Park. Set against a backdrop of taller brick residential buildings emerging from the masterplan, the Energy Hub’s distinct materiality and typology act as a civic marker, with the energy centre chimney set to the corner of Heygate Street.
该建筑作为繁忙的海格特街的缓冲区，为能源中心的工业运作提供了视野，同时也为东边的幼儿园、咖啡馆和社区空间的入口提供了庇护，该空间位于一个新的口袋公园和操场之中。
The building acts as a buffer to the busy Heygate Street, providing views into the industrial workings of the energy centre, whilst sheltering the entrance to the nursery, café and community space to the east, set amid a new pocket park and playground
项目。 体量和立面的雕塑品质经过精心策划，以掩盖和揭示建筑不同项目的活动。进入能源中心的窗户提供了关于城市中如何创造能源的教育。
Project. The sculptural qualities of the massing and façade have been carefully curated to conceal and reveal activities from the building’s varied programmes. Windows into the energy centre offer education on how energy is created within the city.
在上层，托儿所有大窗户和露台，允许与当地学校和整个露台屋顶的视觉连接。双层的咖啡馆和社区空间向口袋公园和儿童游乐区开放，在底层创造了活动空间。公共区域的设计保留了场地上已有的伦敦梧桐树，并为居民和公众提供了游戏空间和绿地。
On the upper levels, the nursery has large windows and terraces allowing visual connections to the local school and across the terrace rooftops. A double-height café and community space open out onto the pocket park and children’s play area creating activity on the ground floor. The public realm has been designed to retain the established London Plane trees on the site and provides playspace and greenspace to residents and the public.
类型。 不同大小的窗户组成了建筑的表皮，由建筑中不同的项目来定义，从进入能源中心的图片窗，到托儿所的座位。穿孔的金属外墙隐藏着另一套可开启的窗户和百叶窗，在夜间露出来，给建筑一个不断变化的外墙。
Typology. A composition of differing sized windows punctuate the building’s skin, defined by the varied programmes in the building, from picture windows into the energy centre, to a seat for nursery children. The perforated metal façade conceals a secondary set of openable windows and louvres that reveal themselves at night, giving the building an ever-changing facade.
材料性。 金属阳极氧化穿孔包层显示了建筑在白天和晚上的不同个性。混凝土基准面包裹着建筑的底部，入口处露出红色骨料，以参考周围的维多利亚时期的红砖建筑。
Materiality. Metal anodised perforated cladding reveals the differing personality of the building between day and night. A concrete datum wraps the base of the building with red aggregate revealed around entrances, in reference to the surrounding Victorian red brick buildings.
